      Basically yes. The alternatives passively become better simply because of the mainstream option becoming worse over time. I think it’s still going too slowly in general but I’m not complaining, better slow than not at all.

        Better slow than too fast too. Lemmy feels like a nice fairly small community. I’m not sure that’ll continue once it’s the size of Reddit. We’ll get more content and niche communities will be better served though, so there’s pros and cons.

          That’s benefit of being built out of local communities!

          There’s instances where users only interact with each other and not the larger Fediverse/lemmyverse.

        Linux isn’t just getting better in comparison because Windows got worse.
        Linux is so much better now than just 10 years ago, it’s absolutely incredible.

    • Not quite… It’s easiest to game on Windows still. I’d love to move to Linux, though. But, alas, this year is not your year still. Crucify me if you wish, but this is the truth. So say a simple gamer that knows more than you do if you’re peddling Linux as the best option in early 2025.

        I’ve switched to main linux last week, for now with a windows dualboot for games that have issues. Honestly a good option if you just don’t like windows or where it’s heading. Depending on what you play going 100% linux isn’t viable though (but also if you’re not playing any multiplayer games it is).

        Rebooting is so fast these days that switching OS isn’t a big problem, and I’m surprised just how well proton is working. I’ve somehow had more problems with the EA launcher trying to play nfs unbound on windows than on linux (it just worked with no issues, on windows it wouldn’t launch if I don’t close the ea launcher first).

        That depends on what games you play. The steamdeck proves that it’s possible to game on Linux.

        What have you been trying to run? I am honestly baffled at the linux gaming possibilities, even outside of Steam. I mean even Star Citizen “runs” on linux. (lol)
